> Once, I've heard this pro-NFT argument: It's like if you would own the original of Mona Lisa.

It's more like if you would own a certificate (very likely of dubious provenance itself) saying that you owned the original of the Mona Lisa, which certificate also listed the address at which the actual original is stored, in case anyone wanted to see what you “owned”.

But that makes a less-enticing pro-NFT argument.
